Vehicle CCTV Solutions

SURE Solutions advanced on-vehicle CCTV kits are a trusted feature in thousands of buses, coaches and blue light vehicles nationwide. Our dedicated team of engineers works through the night to ensure your vehicles are available and minimise disruption during operational hours.

Our systems regularly prove their worth, with the footage they capture being requested by insurance companies, police and other third parties, often playing an important role in legal proceedings. Our CCTV installations are designed not only for surveillance, but as a protective measure for passengers, drivers and operators alike.

The accompanying illustration outlines a standard placement of our equipment. However, we understand that every operator has unique requirements, which is why we offer customizable solutions tailored to your specific needs, no matter the situation.

How does it all work?

The key items that will be the same across most vehicle groups are:

Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

A digital recorder that compresses files whilst maintaining the quality of the footage from all cameras and any additional features mentioned below.

Analogue Cameras

Situated around the vehicle giving internal and external views. Often installed with a wedge to improve the angle and coverage of the data seen.

IP Cameras

Internet Protocol cameras are fitted in areas where high-definition recording is required. They are typically front-facing cameras but can be positioned anywhere. These cameras give the clearest footage and plug directly into the DVR or router.

Router/GPS

To transmit the fleet data to the digital video recorder via 4G data or Wi-Fi via a SIM card. This is particularly relevant when live footage or monitoring the location of the vehicle is required. The router is typically housed in a lockable box alongside the digital video recorder.

Driver Monitor

Allows the driver to monitor internal and external cameras to view live footage of surrounding obstacles close to the vehicle. Passenger areas including the entrance and exit doors can also be viewed for additional passenger safety.

These are all interconnected via cabling hidden in the bus construction panels to provide data feeds into the DVR, where the data is captured on the hard drive and also transmitted via GPS (if fitted) to the live streaming platform SURE InSight.
